Feb 27, 2020 · It is no wonder that the signs designating Tel Beit Tsaida, or Bethsaida, a little more than a mile northeast of the Sea of Galilee’s shoreline, highlight such an attractive site. Known as et-Tell, the mound was first excavated by the Golan Research Institute, between 1987 and 1989.
Nov 18, 2023 · The ancient village of Bethsaida is believed to be located on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, but where precisely the abandoned city lies remains a fiercely-debated question among scholars.
To make matters even more perplexing, et-Tell sits east of the Jordan River, placing it in the Golan region; the Gospel of John, however, says Bethsaida was in the Galilee (John 12:21), which is west of the Jordan.
Mar 23, 2020 · WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 23, 2020)—Bethsaida appears seven times in the Bible. Jesus performed miracles there (e.g., Matthew 11:21; Mark 8:22), and it was the hometown of the apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip (John 1:44). All of the biblical references situate Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee.
It is generally agreed from the texts that Beth-saida is some-where near the northern end of the Sea of Galilee, but which side of the Jordan’s mouth it was on is still uncertain.
